Supply Chain Management Group: Ryan Braun, Mike Mayse, Tracey Gallo, JP Brown, Traci Sproat, Matt Barnard, John Stewart, and Leo Romo

Our Spark Supply Chain Management group hosted their big event, BLPS OCTG Supply Chain Game. Each quarter one of our Spark, employee led, sub committees host a companywide event to increase company involvement and education of sustainability principle objectives.

Teams working on their strategy.

Employees split into competing teams to play a board game. The objective of the game is to be the most efficient in managing the supply chain processes and issues distribution faces every day. Successfully managing OCTG supply chains while maintaining inventories levels to fulfill all customer rig demands is essential to our industry. Various “real life roadblocks” such as trucks with flat tires, icy road conditions, and engineering design changes were spontaneously thrown their way to simulate unforeseen problems.

Let the games begin!

The game lasted for “32 weeks.” The team able to meet all demands without penalties was recognized as the winners! Team 1 came out victorious and won $100 Visa Gift Card each! Congratulations to: Perla Orozco, Brent Altazin, Gene Hunt, Michelle Allen, Kim Hyslop, Arnold Garcia and Ashley Jimerson.

A day filled with great food, fun competition, and amazing teamwork. Thank you, Supply Chain Management group, for a great event.
